Steve,
In the space of today's short posting, you:
- Admitted you might have goofed
- Made a sincere effort to patch up a misunderstanding
- Demonstrated that you don't take yourself too seriously
- Put 4 sentences together in a clear and cogent fashion
- Made a joke or two of your own.
I regret to inform you, therefore, that you are unfit for elective
office!
Steve English

OK, OK, so I didn't get it. It's not the first time I haven't gotten
what passes for wit on this list.
So which of the many duds in elected office are you comparing me to? At
this point, either party should provide numerous examples.
Regards,
Steve
